Ballycorus

State of the art complex at Ballycorus

Lansdowne Rugby are delighted to have at their disposal this brand new, state-of the-art complex with beautiful vistas across the Dublin Mountains.

Opened in November 2007 the Presidents of Lansdowne FC and Old Wesley RFC, Paddy Halpenny and Robert Deacon, made special mention of Frank Forrest, Tennant McConnell and John Lombard, in particular, for their work in bringing the project to fruition.

The complex, which replaces the ground the two clubs formerly shared at Kilgobbin, boasts three full-sized playing pitches (two of which are floodlit) six spacious dressing rooms, a medical room and catering accommodation as well as a fully-equipped gym.

The pitches are of the highest quality, professionally developed under the supervision of the IRFU's agronomist. The pitches have their own independent water sprinkler system should we ever enjoy a dry, hot summer!

Early visitors to the facility for matches in the Leddin Finance Senior championship were County Carlow and Blackrock College. The visitors and home players alike were deeply impressed by the playing facilities.

Fittingly, the clubs marked the opening with two J1 home victories, Lansdowne against Old Belvedere and Old Wesley against Greystones.
